Chord Basics

A chord, in music, is a harmonic set of three or more notes that are heard simultaneously. The most common type of chord is a triad. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When arranged this way, the triad's notes, from lowest pitched to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.

Triad Type

The basic triad types are as follows:

Major Triad

A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth

constitutes a “Major Triad”.

Minor Triad

A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth

constitutes a “Minor Triad”.

Augmented

A root with a major third added above and an

Triad

augmented fifth constitutes an “Augmented Triad”.

Diminished

A root with a minor third added above and a diminished

Triad

fifth constitutes a “Diminished Triad”.

Chord Inversion

When a chord’s root is not the lowest note in the triad, it is called an inversion chord. When the root note is the lowest note, it is called a root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, it forms an “Inversion”, so it is called an “Inverted Chord”. A major triad and its inversion are illustrated on the right.

Chord Name

The chord name consists of two parts: Chord root and Chord type.

Single Finger

Single-finger makes it easy to produce major, seventh, minor and minor seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section.
